SouthernWorldwide.com – Former President Donald Trump has publicly criticized Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who is seeking re-election, labeling him a “disloyal disaster” and a “sleazebag.” Trump made these remarks in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday morning.
Trump also reiterated his endorsement of Cassidy’s primary challenger, Representative Julia Letlow, R-La. He urged Louisiana voters to support Letlow in the Republican primary.

The former president’s strong opposition to Cassidy stems from the senator’s vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial. This action has made Cassidy a target for Trump and his allies.
Letlow, who has received Trump’s backing, has stated that the former president’s endorsement is crucial to her campaign. She believes it significantly impacts her chances in the race.
The political landscape in Louisiana’s Republican primary is thus marked by a significant endorsement battle. Trump’s influence within the Republican party remains a potent force, and his direct attacks on incumbents are often seen as a signal to his supporters.
Cassidy, a three-term senator, is facing a challenging re-election bid. His vote to convict Trump has alienated a segment of the Republican base, which Trump continues to command significant loyalty from.
The primary election is scheduled for Saturday, and the outcome is being closely watched as an indicator of Trump’s continued sway over the GOP electorate.
This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
